Smart home technology is a collective term for information- and communication
technology (ICT) as used in houses, where the various components
are communicating via a local network. The technology can be used to
monitor, warn and carry out functions according to selected criteria.
Smart home technology also makes the automatic communication with
the surroundings possible, via the Internet, ordinary fixed telephones or
mobile phones.
Smart home technology gives a totally different flexibility and functionality
than does conventional installations and environmental control systems,
because of the programming, the integration and the units reacting on
messages submitted through the network. The illumination may for example
be controlled automatically, or lamps can be lit as other things happens
in the house.
Smart homes is the term for houses with smart home technology
installed. Good physical access is a prerequisite for the optimal utilisation
of the technology. The Norwegian State Housing Bank has developed
requirements to accessibility as the basis for their funding of building projects.
The requirements, called lifespan standards, represent a basic standard
for physical accessibility.
